The findings and Judgment of the board
of visitors of Andover theological semi
nary in relation to the professors charged
with heresy are given publicity. They
find three of the eleven charges are sus-
tanned against Prof. Egbert G. Smyth,
and he is declared removed; while Profs.
Tucker, Harris, IIncks and Churchill are
eXonerated from all the charges and re-
main. The findings and Judgment against
Prof. Smyth were by the full board. The
Judgment in relation to the four other
professors above named was made by
President Seelye and Lawyer Marshall :;
Rev. DIR. Eustis. having been unable to
be present at the hearing in their eases,
withheld his name from the judgment.
The Springfield Republican, comment
ing on the verdict, says truly: AS the
faculty are confessedly united in their
views of theology, this is an absurdity,
and the weight of the finding is absolute
ly nothing" And now the trustees of
the seminary come out with Il protest
against the action of the visitors. claim
ing, in substance. that the board of Wis
itorS has only appellate jurisdiction and
ought not to have heard the case. and
that in hearing it it twas guilty of
usurping the rights of the trustees.
Twelve out of the thirteen trustees will
sustain Prof. Smyth in remaining at his
post. Two parallel appeals will be taken
to the supreme court, one by the trus-
tees against the usurpation by the board
of visitors, and one by Prof. Smyth al
leging illegality and injustice in the pro-
ceedings. Many legal exceptions wert
taken by counsel in the trial; and it i.
stated that question likely to be raised
and capable in the eye of the law to dis.
charge the duties of the trust committee
to him. 1t is stated from Andovcr that
the five professors are agreed that they
they will stand or fall together, Will,
the remainder of the faculty are in en-
tire accord with them.
In whatever light viewed, the cOnclu
sion reached cannot but be regarded a
unfortunate. and the outcome of the con
trovcrsy seems likely to be Il veritabl

THE COUNTY COURT.

//The county court will. at the conclu-
sion of the Flint case, now on trial, take
recess till Thursday morning of next
week, to which time the Jurors not ON
the present panel are excused. This ac-
ton was taken in accordance with Il
petition presented by Gov. Stewart, who,
with others, was desirous that the coast
might be clear, as far as possible. for
commencement.
The Jury in the case of Frank f..
Morseman, indicted for the murder of
Chas. III. Hinckley at Salisbury in Au-
gust last, on Saturday returned Il verdict
of guilty of manslaughter. Sentence has
not yet been pronounced. The submiS-
sion of evidence was concluded on Friday
afternoon and States Attorney Wilds be-
gan the arguments for the prosecution.
All day Saturday was taken up with the
arguments of Messrs. Slade and Ballard.
for the defense. Monday morning Mr..
Hard made the final argument for the
State. The Jury were charged in the
afternoon by Judge Rowell, and, after an
absence of little more than an hour. re-
turned verdict as above stated. Al
though the facts are comparatively fresh
in the public mind, it may not be
amiss to give the leading ones.
Both Hinckley and Morseman worked
for the same man in West Salisbury. On
the night of the crime they got into Il
controversy as to which of them should
care for team. A fight followed, in the
course of which Hinckley received five
stabs one of them caused his death three
days later John F. Dyer, the first man
to see them after the fight began, found
them on the ground. Hinckley was on
top and Dyer pulled him off. Morseman
claimed, when put upon the stand, that
he was chOked into unconsciousness by
Hinckley and that if he did the stabbing
it was while in this condition, as he re
membered nothing about having an oper
knife in his hand. Morseman is Al
years old and has lived in Salisbury al
his life. His reputation as to temper anC
habits is not of the best.
The case State VS.. John c. Flint cam,
on Monday afternoon. At noon yester
day the prosecution had finished putting
in evidence and it looked as if thu
trial might be brought to an end Saturday
night. Flint is under indictment fo

THE COMMISSIONS DECISION.

The interstate commerce commission
has made public its decision on the ques-
ton of continuing the order Suspending
the operation of the long and short haul
clause of the law over the different roads
throughout the country that had applied
and obtained temporary relief. The or
der for temporary relief made in favor
of the Louisville IL Nashville road will
be allowed to remain in force until the
day originally set for its eXpiration OF
the other applications for relief coming
from the transcOntinental lines, and from
the Southern and Southwestern, North
ern. Eastern and Western lines. tifty-five
in all, it is decided that the temporary
orders which have been made on some of
these petitions will, in like manner, be
permitted to remain in force until the
time granted expires. The commission
concludes by saying that no further or
der Will be made on any of the petitions.
The full force of the law, then, will
shortly be felt; for owing to the suspen-
siOns under this clause its provisions
